Congratulations to this year's MITSS (Medically Induced Trauma Support Services) HOPE Award Recipients: Dr. Kenneth Sands, Dr. Evan Benjamin, and the teams they led at Beth Israel Deaconess and Baystate Health for their work in implementing the Communication and Resolution (CARe) Program.

These are MACRMI's pilot sites, and we are very proud that their hard work in implementing CARe has been recognized. The goals of CARe are to improve communication and transparency surrounding adverse events, improve patient safety, reduce lawsuits, and proactively meet injured patients' needs, and these programs worked hard to do just that over the past 5 years.
